Strategy & Investment Manager

Bifrost Defence is a Copenhagen\-based defence technology company building dual\-use products for NATO allies and partner nations. Our portfolio includes 8 ventures at various stages, from Thor's Haven, which builds stabilization infrastructure already deployed with the Ukrainian armed forces, to Lightmark, developing light\-based authentication technology for content verification. The company operates within the Bifrost Studios venture ecosystem.

We're hiring a Strategy \& Investment Manager to own studio\-level strategy and capital raising across Bifrost Defence and its portfolio companies. You'll develop the strategic roadmap, produce investor\-grade materials, run fundraise processes, and represent Bifrost to institutional investors, government stakeholders, and defence industry partners. This is a hands\-on operating role for someone who can think at the board level and still send the follow\-up email.

Tasks
---------

• Develop and maintain the studio's strategic roadmap: portfolio construction, thesis refinement, market positioning, and venture maturity frameworks.


• Produce investor\-grade strategy materials, financial models, and board\-ready analyses that drive decision\-making across the portfolio.


• Build and run fundraise processes from first outreach to close, both at the fund level and for portfolio ventures raising seed and Series A rounds.


• Represent Bifrost Defence to LPs, institutional investors, government stakeholders, and defence industry partners. Not preparing materials for someone else to present, but owning the room.


• Identify and develop strategic partnerships that accelerate the studio's positioning in European defence.


• Manage ongoing investor relationships, prepare reporting and updates, and maintain data rooms.

• 3 to 6 years of experience, with at least 2 in a high\-calibre environment: MBB consulting, a top venture or PE fund, or a strong startup operating role.


• Proven ability to structure ambiguous problems, build executive\-ready deliverables, and present to senior audiences.


• Exposure to capital raising: direct involvement in a fundraise process, or working within a fund or LP environment where you understood how capital decisions get made.


• Comfortable translating between strategic vision and operational execution: roadmaps, models, investor narratives, board materials.


• Autonomous and decisive. You make calls with imperfect information and don't wait to be told what to do.


• Fluent in English. German and/or a Scandinavian language is a plus.


• Defence, aerospace, or dual\-use technology exposure is a plus, but learnable. It should not stop you from applying.

• A founding\-team\-level role at a defence venture builder shaping strategy across 8 portfolio ventures.


• Direct exposure to institutional investors, government stakeholders, and defence industry leadership across Europe.


• Work that matters: building the infrastructure that keeps Europe safe and sovereign.


• Hard but rewarding work with a mission\-driven team and experienced entrepreneurs.
